Juvederm Ultra in lips-- smile looks bad, so painful

Yes, this can be typical. There can be some swelling and/or lumps after lip injections which can last 1-2 weeks. Icing may help. You can also apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling. If you're unhappy with your final results you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated.  Though difficult to offer definite advice without a series of photographs, the thin nature of the lip tissues do leave them prone to swelling.  This typically will resolve in 2-3 days after treatment while the augmentation results will soften and appears more natural over the next 2-3 weeks.  In the meantime, I would recommend cold compresses to your lips, sleeping with your head slightly elevated, and using oral/topical arnica and bromelain to help speed your healing.  Hope this helps.

Only 1 day post injection.... Allow swelling to remove over the next 10 days at least. Try icing, PO steroids, massages.
